If you love history, this is right up your ally. Every short chapter is an essential adventure on the road to the advancement of our civilization. Author M B Synge has a most wonderful talent for condensing these astounding stories into such short bites of adventure. Every single chapter presented here warrants the separate reading of a full scholarly work on the subject, if you have the time. M B Synge’s book is classified in the “young people’s” category; however, it is consummately fascinating for adults as well. You will frequently find yourself dropping your jaw in awe of our intrepid ancestors. Reader, Laura Caldwell, is endowed with reading talent possessed by very very few. She is remarkable.
Discovery of New Worlds
David Tweeddale
5 stars for the book and reader. I learned so much listening to this book. Unfortunately much of it is man's inhumane treatment of other men.
Well read
